Here's to another great term of singing with our schools and choirs!
...'Classical choral music is all too often a culturally monolithic bastion of privilege - the children we work with deserve the riches of this world too; we cannot allow the improvement of access to be undermined...'

In preparation for their BBC One broadcast of Christmas Day Mass 30 members of our Bradford Catholic Youth Choir are undertaking a choir development tour to Rome at the start of November this year. To ensure this experience is accessible and affordable for all choir members we are seeking support from a range of Trusts, Foundations, corporate partners and individual donors. Any support you are able to give, however small or big will make a huge difference.
